Songs and what they mean.
Lauren did this on her LJ and I liked it so I'm turning it into a Meme.
Pick ten songs that mean a lot to you, and explain.
1. See You Later See You Soon // Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers. I really don't know what I can say about this song anymore. It makes me so happy and reminds me of so many things. First things first, it reminds me of the only cat I like, Furball. When she was a kitten I didn't know her name so I called her "Little Button". The "pretend to be pirates" part reminds me of Shannon, 'cause that's all we do, and "talk about starting up a band" reminds me of PJ. Plus everything about the song reminds me of the Sixers' acoustic encores of it and everyone singing the chorus is just amazing. This is the song that'll forever define high school.
2. Chasing Cars // Snow Patrol: This song makes me sad. It reminds me of Denny (Grey's) and Kevin (boyfriend) but it also makes me really happy. It's just one of those songs that everyone loves.
3. We Will Become Silhouettes // The Shins: Ray's song from Retreat. I liked the Postal Service version a lot, but the Shins rock it like only they can. It reminds me of all the times where you just feel like you're gonna explode and you just wanna scream, but then you realize that it isn't worth it and everything will be better. I love the line "and i'm screaming at the top of my lungs/pretending the echoes belong to someone, someone I used to know."
4. Summer Girls // LFO: Honestly. Best song ever? I think so. Lisa and I parodied it to perfection, too.
5. Leader of the Band // Dan Fogelberg. This song means so much to me. It reminds me of my grandpa, who died when I was 8. Apparantly, I'm exactly like him in every way. He was as quirky as I am, and he loved photography and the Yankees more than I do! I miss him. This song also reminds me of the fact that I'm *not* good at everything I try, but neither is anyone else, and I can't expect to be as good as people who've been doing what they do for thirty years, and that it'll come, in time.
6. Rollerskate Skinny // Old 97's. Oh, Rhett! The allusions to Catcher in the Rye run rampant through this one. And honestly, there are days when you just need to be in New York and this song reminds me of that. Plus, it was the first 97's song I heard, the day after my birthday, when Tinofish died.
7. Car Crash // Matt Nathanson: The real world scares the crap out of me. And this song is really all I may ever need. "Push me 'til I have to fly/I've shed my skin, my scars/Take me deep out past the lights/Where nothing dims these stars." I need people to push me til I have to fly, I really do. And "I wanna let go and know that i'll be alright, alright."....
8. You Don't Know How it Feels // Tom Petty: CAROL! This song reminds me of one of my favorite people ever, Carol. And the fact that being young is about having fun and not worrying about anything, but just getting out there and doing what you want to do.
9. We're All in This Together // Ben Lee. Reminds me of the Darfur rally 'cause I couldn't believe how many people were there, and how we all just cared. If you're going to fight with someone, it just isn't worth it. Fuck it. We're all in this together, so can't we just get along?
10. Wonderwall // Oasis. ASDKASKFGKSDFGS. This song. SO cliche, I know. But it was a song I loved throughout middle school and all the silly little things that went on. It remindsn me of my brother playing guitar with Jay during the summer outside by the pool. And it reminds me of everyone from camp. My A-Unit. The Arabians. Maite! There's a reason that all of my campies have this song assigned as their ringtone, 'cause they're my wonderwalls. And there's another person who is my wonderwall, too, and I know that whatever happens he'll always be there to save me.
